Nikolay Davydenko Sinks Andy Roddick In Straight Sets In Miami!
Well I am very surprised by this result Russian tennis star Nikolay Davydenko finally defeated Andy Roddick for the first time in the Miami Masters semifinals 7-6 6-2. Davydenko has been a fixture in the ATP Tour top five for the past three years. Davydenko is a very consistent player he has reached the French & US Open semifinals twice in his career and the Australian Open quarterfinals three times. Davydenko also has won a Masters series title in Paris France in 2006.
Davydenko doesn’t receive a lot of attention because he isn’t flashy or outspoken he lets his racket do the talking. Roddick had a 5-0 edge in the head to head but Davydenko finally solved Roddick’s big serve. I believe Davydenko has the potential to win a grand slam he is an excellent hard court and clay court player. Davydenko also reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year and grass is his worst surface. The problem with Davydenko is his mind he tends to capitulate under the pressure. Davydenko will face world number two Rafael Nadal in the finals of Miami. Roger Federer does have something to worry about though Nadal is acquiring a lot of ranking points because he lost in the second round of Miami last year.

I don’t know if I agree with your assessment of Davydenko, he plays so much tennis that I wonder if he is peaking at the right times during the GS…
That pic is funny, it’s rare to see someone w/ such a broad grin to their defeated opponent at the end of the match. It’s even funnier b/c I don’t think i’ve ever seen him smile
@Kia I agree that Davydenko definitely plays too much tennis he would better off if he played a bit less to peak at the slams. In terms of talent Davydenko is a very talented player he has the speed, variety, and the power. The only thing Davydenko lacks is confidence.
